Well even after zipping the Database it is too large to post to the forums, but luckily Spec10's advice worked!
It turns out that for the last 10 months this message has been generated every 6 hours: "Bastak,Bastak,Crusher 016 failed to Load Colonists at Bastak Prime. Any additional orders will be on hold until the problem is resolved"
Is there a way that I can log into that race as the SM and delete that ship? This is version 4.7.7 btw.
